Creative director Ken Levine has confirmed that BioShock composer Garry Schyman will return for BioShock Infinite. During an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit, Levine wrote “we're proud to announce that Garry Schyman, composer of BioShock 1 and 2 has returned to the composer's chair for BioShock Infinite.”

Levine added that Infinite’s score “is very different from the first two games, yet very much guided by the same aesthetic principles. We were lucky to have him and I can't wait until you get to hear some of his stuff. He's working in a different, sparer style, but it's awesome.”

In a blog post, Irrational also released a short sample from Schyman's score, which you can hear below:

An Irrational spokesperson provided us with the following statement from Schyman regarding the news:

"It doesn't get any better for a composer than to be able to score a game as remarkable as BioShock Infinite. It provided a vast canvas filled with extraordinary and completely unique characters and situations that permitted me to be creative in ways that we composers usually only dream of. Much thanks goes to Ken Levine and the entire team at Irrational for inventing such an astonishing world and then letting me write music for it!"

After a recent delay, BioShock Infinite is due on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on March 26, 2013. A digital version of the soundtrack will be included in both of the game's Collector's Editions.
